3 What Is a Renewables Portfolio Standard? Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS): A requirement on retail electric suppliers to supply a minimum percentage or amount of their retail load with eligible sources of renewable energy. Typically backed with penalties of some form Often accompanied by a tradable renewable energy credit (REC) program, to facilitate compliance Never designed the same in any two states 3
4 RPS Policies Exist in 29 States and D.C.; 7 More States Have Non-Binding Goals WA: 15% by 2020 OR: 25% by 2025 (large utilities) 5-10% by 2025 (smaller utilities) CA: 33% by 2020 AK: 50% by 2025 NV: 25% by 2025 AZ: 15% by 2025 MT: 15% by 2015 UT: 20% by 2025 ND: 10% by 2015 SD: 10% by 2015 KS: 20% of peak demand by 2020 CO: 30% by 2020 (IOUs) 10% by 2020 (co-ops and munis) NM: 20% by 2020 (IOUs) 10% by 2020 (co-ops) MN: 25% by 2025 Xcel: 30% by 2020 WI: 10% by 2015 IA: 105 MW by 1999 IL: 25% by 2025 MO: 15% by 2021 OK: 15% by 2015 MI: 10% by 2015 VT: 20% by 2017 NY: 30% by 2015 PA: 8.5% by 2020 NJ: 22.5% by 2020 OH: 12.5% by 2024 MD: 20% by 2022 DE: 25% by 2025 ME: 40% by 2017 MA: 11.1% by %/yr RI: 16% by 2019 DC: 20% by 2020 VA: 15% by 2025 NH: 24.8% by 2025 CT: 23% by 2020 NC: 12.5% by 2021 (IOUs) 10% by 2018 (co-ops and munis) HI: 40% by 2030 TX: 5,880 MW by 2015 Mandatory RPS Non-Binding Goal Source: Berkeley Lab Notes: Compliance years are designated by the calendar year in which they begin. Mandatory standards or non-binding goals also exist in US territories (American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands) Most policies established through state legislation, but some initially through regulatory action (NY, AZ) or ballot initiatives (CO, MO, WA) 4
5 Several States Have Adopted Broader Clean Energy Standards or Efficiency Standards Clean energy standards (CES ) adopted in parallel to RPS (MI, OH, PA) or in lieu of an RPS (WV) IN has a voluntary clean energy goal Many states have adopted stand-alone energy efficiency (EE) resource standards or allow EE to qualify within an RPS or CES 5
6 Existing RPS Apply to 54% of Total U.S. Retail Electricity Sales in 2012 U.S. Electrical Load with Active State RPS Obligations (Historical and Projected) Percent of Total U.S. Retail Sales 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% POUs IOUs & ESPs ESPs IOUs
7 RPS Increasingly Designed to Support Resource Diversity: Most Commonly Solar and DG 16 states + D.C. have solar or DG set-asides, sometimes combined with credit multipliers; 3 other states only have credit multipliers WA: 2x multiplier for DG OR: 20 MW solar PV by x multiplier for PV installed before 2016 NV: 1.5% solar by x multiplier for central PV 2.45x multiplier for distributed PV CO: 3% DG by 2020 for IOUs (half from retail DG) 3x multiplier for co-ops and munis for solar installed before July 2015 AZ: 4.5% customer-sited DG by 2025 (half from residential) NM: 4% solar electric by 2020, 0.6% customer-sited DG by 2020 MI: 3x multiplier for solar NY: 640 GWh retail DG by 2015 NJ: 4.1% solar electric by 2027 PA: 0.5% solar PV by 2020 OH: 0.5% solar electric by 2024 IL: 1.5% solar PV by 2025, 1% DG by 2015 (50% <25 kw) MO: 0.3% solar electric by 2021 NH: 0.3% solar electric by 2014 MA: 456 GWh customer-sited solar PV (no specified target year) DE: 3.5% solar by x multiplier for solar installed before Jan (applies only to solar used for general RPS target) MD: 2% solar by 2020 DC: 2.5% solar by 2023 NC: 0.2% solar by 2018 Set-aside Set-aside with multiplier Multiplier TX: 2x multiplier for all non-wind Source: Berkeley Lab Note: Compliance years are designated by the calendar year in which they begin Differential support for solar/dg provided in CT and RI via long-term contracting programs with legislatively-established budgets or capacity targets Ten states created solar/ DG setasides since 2007: DE, IL, MA, MD, MO, NC, NH, NM, OH, OR 7
8 Enactment of New RPS Policies Is Waning, But States Continue to Hone Existing Policies IA MN (2002) AZ (1999) MA (2003) ME (2000) NV (2001) CT (2000) PA (2001) WI (2000) NJ (2001) TX (2002) NM (2002) CA (2003) CO (2007) HI (2005) MD (2006) NY (2006) RI (2007) DC (2007) DE (2007) MT (2008) WA (2012) IL (2008) NH MI (2008) (2012) NC MO (2010) (2011) OR OH KS (2011) (2009) (2011) IA MN AZ MN NM CT NJ CT AZ CA DC HI CO CA IL WI NV MN NM CO CA CO DE IL DE CT MA Enactment (above timeline) Enactment (above timeline) Major Revisions (below timeline) ( ) Year of First Requirement NV PA NV CT CT HI ME IL DC MD TX HI DE MA MN MA DE NJ NJ MD MD NV MD IL NH WI ME NJ OR NJ MA OH MN RI NY MD NJ NM PA TX NC WI 8
9 General Trends in Recent RPS Revisions Expanding eligibility (waste-to-energy, hydropower, biomass co-firing, solar thermal) Increased stringency of RPS purchase targets (though momentum has slowed) Adoption of resource-specific set-asides (though momentum there has also slowed) Honing solar set-aside provisions Eligibility rules (size, location, etc.) SACP schedules Contracting mechanisms Efforts to address REC oversupply/volatility (especially SRECs e.g., by accelerating or increasing targets) 9
10 State-Specific RPS Developments ( ) CA: Increased/extended RPS to 33% by 2020 with specified limits on unbundled RECs and firmed/shaped products CT: Introduced long-term REC contracting program for small renewables DC: Increased solar set-aside; adopted declining SACP schedule; restricted solar set-aside eligibility to projects <5 MW connected to DC distribution system DE: Transferred compliance obligation to regulated distribution service provider; created longterm SREC contracting program IL: Created DG set-aside with procurement by IPA under multi-year contracts MA: Adopted 10-year declining SACP schedule with 5% annual reductions, and tightened biomass eligibility rules MD: Accelerated solar set-aside, and expanded solar set-aside eligibility to include solar water heating; expanded Tier 1 eligibility to include waste-to-energy and several others NC: Expanded eligibility to include direct load control/demand response NJ: Accelerated solar set-aside; established 15-year SACP schedule; extended SREC lifetime NH: Created carve-out for thermal energy resources; reduced Class I targets while increasing targets for Class III and IV; reduced ACPs for most tiers; loosened Class I eligibility rules OH: Expanded eligibility to include waste energy recovery and several specific cogeneration plants WI: Expanded eligibility to include new large hydropower 10
11 Political and Legal Challenges to RPS Policies Have Been Mounting Legislation in roughly ten states was introduced in to repeal or roll-back RPS policies None of these efforts have succeeded to-date While other legislation has sought revisions that may result in a weakening RPS policies E.g., by expanding eligibility, reducing ACPs Legal issues have also been raised in court cases and regulatory proceedings Commerce Clause issues, often tied to geographic eligibility rules (MA, CO, CA, MO) Challenges to the jurisdictional authority of the PUC to enact an RPS (AZ) 11
12 Operational Experience with State RPS Policies Remains Somewhat Limited Operational Experience with State RPS Policies (number of major compliance years completed-to-date) Colorado Arizona Delaware California Maryland Iowa Hawaii New York Maine Kansas Illinois New Mexico Massachusetts Missouri Montana Pennsylvania Connecticut Nevada Michigan Oregon New Hampshire Rhode Island Minnesota New Jersey Washington North Carolina Ohio Washington D.C.

13 State RPS Policies Appear to Be Motivating Substantial Renewable Capacity Development Cumulative and Annual Non-Hydro Renewable Energy Capacity in RPS and Non-RPS States, Nationally Cumulative Capacity Annual Capacity Additions Nameplate Capacity (MW) 70,000 60,000 50,000 40,000 30,000 20,000 RPS Non-RPS Nameplate Capacity (MW) 12,000 10,000 8,000 6,000 4,000 2,000 RPS Non-RPS 10, Though not an ideal metric for RPS-impact, 63% of the 53 GW of non-hydro renewable additions from (33 GW) occurred in states with active/impending RPS compliance obligations

20 Ongoing Issues and Challenges Price trends and near-term over-supply of RE Required additional RE deployment is limited State RPS compliance challenges in some cases Rate impacts and cost concerns Other emerging state policy design issues 20
21 REC Prices Have Dropped Substantially in Many Regions Over the Last Two Years REC prices historically volatile, and dropped substantially in many regions recently (main tier and solar RECs) Recent price trends reflect over-supply for RPS needs in some markets Wholesale electricity prices have also declined substantially over the same period In concert with low REC prices, makes RE economics more challenging in near term, despite drop in RE costs States have considered and implemented various measures to mitigate these effects Increasing or accelerating RPS targets Long-term contracting programs/requirements Price support mechanisms Various other approaches 21
22 Main Tier and Class I RECs Avg Monthly REC Price (2011$/MWh) $70 $60 $50 $40 $30 $20 $10 $0 Jan-05 Jul-05 Jan-06 CT Class I DC Tier I DE Class I IL Wind MA Class I MD Tier I ME New NH Class I NJ Class I OH In-State PA Tier I RI New TX Jul-06 Jan-07 Jul-07 Jan-08 Jul-08 Jan-09 Jul-09 Jan-10 Jul-10 Jan-11 Jul-11 Jan-12 Jul-12 Trading Month Sources: Evolution Markets (through 2007) and Spectron (2008 onward). Plotted values are the last trade (if available) or the mid-point of Bid and Offer prices, for the current or nearest future compliance year traded in each month. 22
23 Solar RECs $700 $600 $500 $400 $300 $200 $100 $0 Jan-05 Jul-05 Jan-06 Jul-06 Jan-07 Jul-07 Jan-08 Jul-08 Jan-09 Jul-09 Jan-10 Jul-10 Jan-11 Jul-11 Jan-12 Avg. Monthly SREC Price ($2011/MWh) Jul-12 DC MA NC NJ PA DE MD NH OH Trading Month Sources: Spectron, SRECTrade, Flett Exchange, PJM-GATS, and NJ Clean Energy Program. Depending on the source used, plotted values are either the mid-point of monthly average bid and offer prices, the average monthly closing price, or the weighted average price of all RECs transacted in the month, and generally refer to SREC prices for the current or nearest future compliance year traded in each month. 23
24 State RPS, and Proposed Federal RPS, Require Fewer RE Additions than Experienced in Recent RE capacity additions vs. RE additions required to meet current state RPS policies and proposed Federal RPS Recent Renewable Capacity Additions ( ) Average Annual Renewable Capacity Additions ( ) State RPS Requirements Proposed Federal RPS (Bingaman 2010) + State RPS 6-11 GW/yr 4-5 GW/yr 4-11 GW/yr Continued growth at rate exceeds level required to meet state RPS ; would be sufficient to meet the most recent Federal RPS proposal Federal clean energy standards (CES) could yield more or less RE capacity than historical growth, depending on the specific proposal New/increased state RPS policies appear less likely going forward in near term (policy weakening possible) Demand from non-rps markets (green power, IRP, least cost) needed to maintain installation rate 24
25 Targets Largely Met with Renewable Energy or RECs; Isolated Struggles Apparent Percent of RPS Target Met with Renewable Electricity or RECs (including available credit multipliers and banking, but excluding ACPs and borrowing) 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% % AZ CA CO CT DC DE HI IA IL MA MD ME Note: Percentages less than 100% do not necessarily indicate that full compliance was not technically achieved, because of ACP compliance options, funding limits, or force majeure events. MN MT NC NH NJ NM NV NY OH PA RI TX WI 25
26 Achievement of Solar/DG Set-Aside Targets Has Steadily Increased in Many States States with Large (>150 MW) Solar/DG Targets in 2011 Percent of Solar/DG Target Met with Solar/DG Electricity or RECs 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% AZ (225 MW)* CO (231 MW)* NJ (336 MW)* NV (170 MW)* NY (227 MW)* *Equivalent solar/dg capacity (MW) required in 2011 at a 15% capacity factor Note: "Percent of Solar/DG Target Met with Solar/DG Electricity or RECs" excludes ACPs but includes applicable credit multipliers. In cases where this figure is below 100%, suppliers may not have been technically out of compliance due to solar ACP compliance options, funding limits, and force majeure provisions. Retirement of solar electricity/recs relative to set-aside requirements has often been mixed in initial compliance years 26
27 Rate Impacts of State RPS Policies Have Generally Been Modest So Far (< 5%) Translating REC prices or state-specific funding to rate impacts in 2009 and 2010 yields the results shown below 4.0% 3.5% 3.0% 2.5% 2.0% 1.5% 1.0% 0.5% 0.0% AZ CO CT DC Estimated Electricity Rate Impact (% of average retail rate) DE IL MA MD ME NH Rate impacts differ due to target levels, REC/ACP prices, and presence of set-asides Rate impacts in some states (AZ, CO, NY) include up-front incentives for solar/dg, which contribute to compliance in future years Rate impacts of RPS policies in states that are dominated by long-term contracts are generally unknown, but anecdotal evidence suggests limited impacts so far, and quite possibly even rate reductions in several states NJ NY States not included if data on incremental RPS compliance costs are unavailable (CA, IA, HI, MN, MT, NC, NM, NV, OH, TX, WI) or if RPS did not apply in (KS, MI, MO, OR, WA). PA RI 27
28 Given Uncertainty in Future Costs, Cost Caps of Various Designs Are Common 1) ACP with automatic cost recovery: MA, ME, NH, NJ, RI 2) ACP with possible cost recovery: DC, DE, MD, OR 3) Retail rate / revenue requirement cap: CO, KS, IL, MD, MO, NM, OH, OR, WA 4) Renewable energy contract price cap: MT, NM 5) Per-customer cost cap: MI, NC, NM 6) Renewable energy fund cap: NY 7) Financial penalty may serve as cost cap: CT, HI, OH, PA, TX Emerging cost-containment issues: Challenges in calculating incremental RPS procurement costs in order to assess whether cap is reached (especially with bundled RE contracts) Costs for wind/solar have declined, but shale gas has reduced electricity market prices net impact on incremental RPS costs, as well as on whether cost caps are limiting, TBD 28
29 Most States Have Capped Rate Impacts Well Below 10% (12 States Below 5%) Many states cost containment mechanisms can be translated into an estimated maximum increase in retail rates Maximum Effective Retail Rate Increase 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% Maximum Incremental RPS Compliance Costs (Percentage Increase in Average Retail Rates) DE NJ RI MA NH CT DC ME MD OR WA TX MI OH NM NY CO NC IL MO MT No explicit cap on incremental compliance costs in 9 states (AZ, CA, IA, KS, HI, NM, NV, PA, WI), though KS caps gross RPS procurement costs and CA is currently developing its cost containment mechanism. 29
30 Other Emerging and Continuing Issues Facing State RPS Programs Long-term contracting needs in restructured markets otherwise dominated by short-term REC transactions Addressing the dual desires for liquid RE markets and instate benefits in the face of the Commerce Clause Managing compliance enforcement procedures, force majeure events, and cost caps as targets become binding Maintaining some stability and predictability in the face of numerous ongoing policy design changes Interactions between state and possible future Federal policies Addressing the other barriers to renewable energy: transmission, integration, siting, etc. 30

33 33 State RPS Policies Feature Significant Design Differences Renewable purchase targets and timeframes Entities obligated to meet RPS, and use of exemptions Eligibility of different renewable technologies Whether existing renewable projects qualify Treatment of out-of-state generators Whether technology setasides or other tiers are used Use of credit multipliers for favored technologies Allowance for RECs, and REC definitions Methods to enforce compliance Existence and design of cost caps Compliance flexibility rules, and waivers from compliance Contracting requirements and degree of regulatory oversight Compliance filing and approval requirements Compliance cost recovery Role of state funding mechanisms
34 Structure of RPS: RPS Compliance Models Vary Substantially Regulated Markets Dominated by long-term bundled contracts for electricity and RECs Restructured Markets More often dominated by short-term trade in RECs, without PUC oversight Utility RFP solicitations or bilateral negotiations, with regulatory oversight Developers often sell electricity and RECs separately Two states require a government-directed agency to conduct procurements under the RPS: New York and Illinois 34
35 RPS Policies Are Increasingly Being Designed to Support Resource Diversity Set Asides: Requirements that some portion of the RPS come from certain technologies, technology types, or applications Credit Multipliers: Provides selected technologies or applications more credit than other forms of generation towards meeting the RPS Resource-Specific Contracting Targets: Requirements that regulated utilities enter into long-term contracts for minimum quantities of specific resource types 35 No Differential Support: CA, HI, IA, KS, WI Set-Asides General Technology Specific Technology Specific Application Class I vs. II: CT, DC, DE, MA, MD, ME, NH, NJ Solar Energy: DC, DE, IL, MA, MD, MO, NC, NH, NJ, NM, NV, OH, OR, PA Wind Energy: IL, ME (goal), MN, NJ (offshore), NM Existing Biomass/Methane: NH Existing Hydropower: NH Thermal: NH Geothermal or Biomass: NM Swine Waste: NC Poultry Waste: NC Non-Wind: TX (goal) Distributed Generation: AZ, CO, IL, NM, NY Community Ownership: MN (goal), MT (wind), OR (goal, community and small scale) Credit Multipliers Solar Energy: DE (general RPS), MI, CO (POUs), NV (PV), OR Wind Energy: DC, MD, DE (offshore) Methane: DC, MD Fuel Cells: DE Waste Tires: NV Non-Wind: TX Distributed Generation: NV (PV), WA Community Ownership: CO, ME
36 Geographic Eligibility and Electricity Delivery Rules Vary Considerably Variation reflects differing: wholesale market structure and geography state interests in supporting in-state or in-region RE interpretations of the requirements imposed by the Interstate Commerce Clause Table provides examples: many states employ multiple requirements, and therefore would fit in multiple rows Geographic Eligibility and Delivery Requirements (Main Tier) In-state generation requirement In-region generation requirement Electricity delivery required to state or to LSE Direct transmission inter-tie between generators and state Broader delivery requirements to state or to LSE Electricity delivery required to broader region Generators anywhere outside region must deliver electricity to region Generators in limited areas outside region must deliver electricity to region In-state generation encouragement In-state multipliers Cost-effectiveness test Limit on RECs from out-of-state generators Examples HI, IA DC, MI, MN, OR, PA TX AZ, CA, KS, MT, NM, NV, NY, OH, WI DE, ME, NJ, WA CT, DC, MA, MD, NH, RI CO, MO IL NC 36
37 Enforcement Actions Have Thus Far Been Limited Enforcement mechanisms vary, and one should not assume that strictly failing to meet RPS targets leads to enforcement actions Enforcement Mechanisms States ACP, Automatic Cost Recovery ACP, Possible Cost Recovery Explicit Financial Penalties, No Automatic Cost Recovery Discretionary Financial Penalties, No Cost Recovery Enforcement at PUC Discretion Not Applicable Alternative compliance payments (ACPs) totaled $66 million in 2010 Penalties have been levied in CA, CT, MT, OH, PA, and TX Lack of compliance has sometimes been excused MA, ME, NH, NJ, RI DC, DE, MD, OR CA, CT, KS, MI, MO, MT, PA, OH, TX, WA, WI AZ, CO, HI, MN, NV NC, NM IA, IL, NY 37
